PVGP Week .1 / by Dave Hileman

We just finished two days at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, the 40th year of racing in Schenely Park. I would love to write a bit here and show lots of photos but I am beat. It was hot, over 90 the whole time, we walked 4.6 miles day one and 2.4 Sunday. And, it was hot.

So I am just going to show a couple of photos today, then over the week some stories and photos with different aspects of the event. Most of my race photos are at the chicane - we walked to other sites but this is a great spot. Our car was parked here along with our cooler, food, water, lemonade, cookies, well, you get the point. We were not going to be gone too long.

These two BMWs exiting the chicane were in a tight race with a Porsche you can just see behind the green one. He was trying hard to find a place to pass and they were trying hard to say “no".”

Setting up for a fast right hand turn, slightly uphill. I guess they are about 65/70 here and three feet apart. This is just like I-95 except these drivers are not drinking coffee, texting and putting on makeup. They are paying attention to driving.

Beautiful Porsche braking hard for a right turn onto the Panther Hollow Bridge.
